SNIPPETZ SAYS LETTHE SUMMER BEGIN!

www.woodmoorpinesgcc.com

“A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.” -James Dent

The summer solstice is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when the sun is di-

rectly over the Tropic of Cancer.

The word “solstice” is a combination of Latin words mean-ing “sun” and “stand still.”

This year, the celestial event takes place June 21 at 7:28 EDT. In the UK, the time is 11:28 UT.

SNIPPETZ PLANS A STAYCATIONIN OUR OWN BACK YARD

SNIPPETZ SAYS LET THE SUMMER BEGIN!

June is a time to refresh and reconnect – and get married?

Frank Sinatra sang about June love. “Winds of January sigh and moan, and yet it’s June. I can see a sky of blue … the miracle is you – just you. It’s June in January.”

JUNE WEDDING BELLSThe Druids celebrated summer solstice as the “wedding of heaven and Earth.” Thus is the basis for the modern-day belief that a June wedding brings good luck to the bride and groom.

Pagans called the midsummer moon the “honey moon,” which represented the mead made from fermented honey that was used in the wedding ceremonies around the sum-mer solstice.

When dark did come, Pagans kept the celebration going with bonfi res so they could stay up all night to the light of the moon. As a ritual to encourage the growth of their crops, couples would leap through the fl ames, hoping their crops would grow as high as they could jump.

During the summer solstice, evil spirits appeared, accord-ing to Pagan folklore. To fend them off, the Pagans wore garlands of herbs and fl owers, which trickled down as a traditional part of the bridal ceremony.

June weddings were customary with the Aboriginal people as well. It was a joyous time of year for the tribes – the snow had melted, fl owers were in bloom, leaves had re-turned and the sun was warm. Between the planting and harvesting of their crops, the Aboriginal people married. They believed that the “grand union” of the goddess and god occurred in May; so, in respect for the gods, young

couples waited until June to marry.

They also referred to the fi rst full moon as the “honey moon” – a time for harvesting honey. The newlyweds used honey in most of their food and beverages for the fi rst month of their marriage to encourage love and fertility.

NOT JUST FOR WEDDINGSAlthough the celebration of the summer solstice began with pagan rituals and ancient people’s traditions, many cultures began honoring the longest day of the year with a myriad of activities.

PAST AND PRESENTAlthough not much has been written about their celebra-tions of the solstice, the Native Americans left testimoni-als of how they paid homage to the solstice. They built a monument to the sun in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyo-ming, and Native Americans in Chaco Canyon, Colo., left markings on the Fajada Butte highlighting their worship of the solstice sun.

Today, many people – Native Americans and others – fl ock to those areas during the summer solstice. The inscriptions have changed over time on the monuments because of weather and shifts in the ground, but followers of the Na-tive American culture believe in the mystical powers that inhabit the mountains.

WISTERIAOne of the largest celebrations of the solstice in the United States takes place in Wisteria, Ohio. Beginning June 20, it’s a weeklong event – touted as a “magical village cele-

brating eco-spiritual culture.” A few of the numerous activities include sweat lodges (a Native American tradition), drumming and dancing around the bonfi re, fi re spin-ners, concerts and nature walks. Speakers like doctors, natural healers and teachers provide insight on spiritual, emotional and physical health. Yoga and meditation classes are available as well.

Another highlight at the celebration is the Turtle Mound – the site of ceremonies, meditation, weddings and concerts. Peo-ple in Wisteria built a turtle effi gy mound over three summer solstices. The turtle is 60 feet long, from his head to the tip of his tail, and 40 feet wide.

CELEBRATE AT HOMEIs it too far to drive to Wisteria? No wor-ries. There are all kinds of ways to honor the sun and its bounty on June 21.

Plan a bonfi re. Create a campsite; build a fi re and share stories and songs with friends and family. Do it on the evening of the 20th to welcome the solstice or bid farewell to the solstice on the night of June 21. Just don’t forget the s’mores.

Or, host a barbeque. Add another reason for a summer barbecue. It’s not just about Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day.

Sunrise; sunset: Commemorate the sun by getting up early to watch the sun rise on the longest day of the year. Or, stay up later and soak in that beautiful sunset.

• If June is sunny, the harvest will come early.

• A cold and wet June spoils the rest of the year.

• June, damp and warm, does a farmer no harm.

• An early harvest is expected when the bramble blossoms early in June.

SUMMER FUN FACTSJune is a fun month for most kids (and teachers). Prior to the solstice, the school year ends. June begets vacations, water-melon and ice cream. Speaking of water-melon, did anyone know it’s a vegetable? Here are some more fun facts about sum-mer activities.

• The fi rst Olympic Games were held in Greece more than 2,000 years ago.

• Sharks are one of the oldest living crea-tures in the sea – evidence has shown the shark species has been lurking in the wa-ters for more than 400 million years. In the dinosaur age, sharks grew up to 80 feet long! Today, the Great White is a mere 25 feet.

• Mosquitoes have been around for 30 mil-lion years. They have chemical sensors that detect mammals from 100 feet away. They have heat sensors to detect warm-blooded creatures and visual sensors that detect movement and contrast in colors. The adult male mosquito dies after mating. Females lay their eggs and can live for months.

• Watermelon is a vegetable and closely re-lated to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. Watermelon is 92 percent water – early ex-plorers hollowed out the watermelon and used it as a canteen.

• In 1905, Frank Epperson, just 11 years old, invented the fi rst Popsicle – by acci-dent. He left a mixture of powdered soda and water, with a stir stick, on his porch. The next morning, he found a frozen pop! He fi rst named his frozen pop an “epsicle.” However, as he aged, kids always asked for “Pop’s sickle” – and the name stuck. The cherry Popsicle is No. 1 in favorite fl avors.

• The average American eats around 5 1/2 gallons of ice cream a year, more than any other nationality.

• The fi rst bathing suits for women were introduced in the early 1800s. Because a tan was not proper in those days, the fi rst suits for women were long-sleeved bathing dresses with woolen bloomers to weight

the dress down. The only real swimming for women involved jumping into waves at water’s edge or dipping their feet.

• In the 1870s, the Frisbee was designed as a tin pie plate, with the name “Frisbee” on the plate for marketing purposes. The ploy was used to entice women to think about Mr. Frisbee’s pies when they were baking one of their own. How much easier it was to buy one. It worked, and Mr. Frisbee’s pies became famous, especially in Con-necticut.

• In the 1940s, students from Yale Uni-versity started tossing the pie tins to one another as a game of catch. It caught on around campus and elsewhere. Ten years later, the president of Wham-O created the plastic disc.

A POEMThis is for June and allthe summers it brings

For the chiming of bells– from a steeple ring

Olde songs of wedlockover top hat and lace

‘Fore June passes torch,to July’s scarlet face

Trees are full jackets,in multi-shades of green

The last pink magnolia leaf– still can be seen

There’s a breeze in the airthat carries a scent

Of her sweet honeysuckle– full effl orescence

Still nights cast a chill,but June has its motives An inviting warm fl ame,

bright amorous votive

Moonlit romance,‘neath a nautic June breeze Makes love in June sparkle,

by shore or by sea

KIMS

KORNERby Kim Carson

Last week we looked at texture in regards to patterns, lines, size and scale. This week we are going to

explore texture and hardwood fl ooring.When we refer to a wood fl oor’s texture, we’re usually referring to the amount of grain or “texture” a particular wood fl oor has. Some wood fl oors such as oak and pine, have a lot of grain, so have a rougher feel or texture then other wood fl oors such as maple, which tends to have less grain and a smoother fi nish.Different types of fi nish coatings that are applied to the wood fl oor will also tend to change the texture. For example, a heavy polyurethane fi nish coating will have a smoother texture than a wax fi nish might.The texture of a wood fl oor should be taken into consideration when planning your decorating scheme. As we discussed when we talked about species, the type of wood fl oor you choose will generally determine the fi nished look you will get. A rougher or grainier texture will produce a more rustic casual look where a smoother texture will give you a more formal look.FinishesWe will talk briefl y about wood fl oor fi nishes. In most cases, if you are purchasing a wood fl oor that has to be sanded, stained, and fi nished, you are going to have it done by a professional. If that is the case, the installation professional can help guide you in the right direction as far as what type of fi nish will be correct for your application. If you are buying a pre-fi nished wood fl oor, in most cases the price will dictate the quality.In addition, we can help explain the different pre-fi nished fl oors to you so you can make your decision. The most common fi nish coat used today is a “urethane” coating. Urethane coatings are available in a variety of looks including a high gloss, semi-gloss, satin and a matte fi nish. They are all highly durable and resistant to spills.

Urethane coatings are available in different forms. The four most common forms are:• The water based urethane, which dries as moisture evaporates. It is usually more expensive, non-yellowing, has less odor than some of the others, and dries very quickly • A solvent based moisture cure urethane, available in both non-yellowing and amber types, with a very harsh odor. • The acid cure urethane. This is fast drying, clear and non-yellowing, and has an extremely strong odor. • The oil modifi ed urethane. This is the most common. It is fairly simple to apply, not generally expensive, will dry in an acceptable amount of time, usually eight to ten hours, and will amber with age. There are also penetrating stain and wax, and standard wax fi nishes. These fi nishes are not available in a gloss fi nish, require more ongoing maintenance, and generally require additional coats over time as a protective measure.Wax fi nishes are usually less expensive and easier to apply. As we mentioned previously and we will stress again, unless you have a good amount of experience with these types of materials, we highly recommend that you have a professional installer apply whatever you choose. The materials can be dangerous and if they are not applied properly, you can end up with a very disappointing fl oor.Are you at all confused yet? Well don’t worry. We are always here to help. Although there is a wealth of information about these products, there is always an expert at the other end of the of the telephone, willing to help you make sense of it all.

Tai Yi Energy Practitioner - Tami Urbanek

Under mental, emotional, or physical stress? Low immune system? Anxiety? Depression? Lack of focus?

Tai Yi means Supreme Movement and is an ancient form of Chinese energy work that is similar to acupuncture and can assist in many ailments.

719-641-2017Making New Choices to Create a New Reality

FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION WITH SESSION

We all have perceptions, opinions, and understandings based on our level of learning, pain, joy,

beliefs, and clarity. When we look at the world, we look through our perceptions. Some have a perception that the world is painful and that life will always be pain-ful. Some have a perception that joy is possible and they may strive to achieve that joy at some point.

Most people have a perception that pain is normal and that it must be endured. While, pain is COMMON, it is not normal. We do live in a world where pain is all around us. We see it every time we watch the news, read the newspaper, talk with a friend, relative, or co-worker. However, that does not mean pain is normal.

Another way to look at it is to use the example of catching a cold virus. Most people come in contact with a cold virus at some point. It is quite common to see an individual with a cold at some point throughout the year, more times than oth-ers. Does that mean that coming in con-tact with a cold virus, having a weakened immune system, and getting through the cold virus is normal? No. There are in-dividuals who do not catch viruses; who have not become sick in a lengthy amount of time. Those individuals have strong immune systems that fi ght viruses and the virus never takes over, as in having a cold. Would an individual, who has a strong immune system, be considered abnormal? No. It is normal to have a strong immune system, abnormal to have a weak immune system. Having a weak immune system means something is wrong or out of bal-ance. The same example holds true for perceptions of pain.

TAI YIPERCEPTIONS

On the other side of the coin, ones can have a perception of HEALING. People can be in a state of emotional pain and imagine what their lives will be like when they have healed an issue that is part of the cause of the pain. They can then work on healing an issue and have healed the issue. But, their lives may not have dra-matically changed the way they thought it would when they imagined it. That is because they imagined the result of their healing while they were in a state of pain, rather than a state of healing.

An example is winning the lottery. A per-son or family may play the lottery every week and imagine how their life or lives will be wonderful and joyous when they win the lottery. In this example, they win the lottery and expect their lives to change for the better immediately. Then, old pat-terns may emerge; actually, old relatives may emerge with their hands out! But, in this example, their lives may not change for the better the way they thought it would and that is because they made that assumption when they were in a state of pain.

When you imagine what your life will be like while you are in a state of heal-ing and you are feeling yourself heal, your perception of what your life will be like, when you have completed healing an is-sue, may be quite accurate.

A Tai Yi exercise/treatment that addresses the inaccurate perception of healing is called Perception of Healing. This exer-cise/treatment will bring clarity and un-derstanding to the individual attempting to heal and allow the person to gain an accurate perception of healing.

• On June 22, 1775, Congress issues $2 million in bills of credit. The bills, known at the time as “Continentals,” notably lacked the then de rigueur rendering of the British king. Instead, some of the notes featured likenesses of Revolutionary soldiers and the inscription “The United Colonies.”

• On June 27, 1844, Joseph Smith, the founder and leader of the Mormon religion, is murdered when an anti-Mormon mob breaks into a jail where he is being held in Carthage, Ill. Smith claimed in 1823 that he had been visited by a Christian angel named Moroni, who spoke to him of an ancient Hebrew text that had been lost for 1,500 years.

• On June 23, 1902, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft fi rst registers “Mercedes” as a brand name, feeling that the non-German name might sell better in France. The fa-mous Mercedes symbol, a three-point star, was registered as a trademark in 1909.

• On June 26, 1948, U.S. and British pilots begin airlifting food and supplies to Berlin

after the city is isolated by a Soviet Union blockade. By July 15, an average of 2,500 tons of supplies was being fl own into the city every day.

• On June 25, 1950, armed forces from communist North Korea smash into South Korea, setting off the Korean War. The United States quickly sprang to the defense of South Korea. More than 55,000 Ameri-can troops were killed in the three-year confl ict.

• On June 24, 1975, an Eastern Airlines jet crashes near John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, killing 115 peo-ple. The Boeing 727 was brought down by wind shear during severe thunderstorms with heavy winds and rain. Seven passen-gers and two fl ight attendants survived the fi ery crash.

• On June 21, 1982, John W. Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan, was found not guilty of attempted murder by reason of insanity. In the trial, Hinckley’s defense attorneys argued that their client had a pathological obsession with the 1976 fi lm “Taxi Driver,” in which there is an at-tempt to assassinate a fi ctional senator.

There's a good chance thatsome of your most treasureditems will be purchased for acostume or Halloween party.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY- Get $50 in coins and plentyof small bills to make change. - Create a separate table forthe cashier. Consider makingyour cash box a fanny pack. - Leave any large bill thatyou're making change for inview until the transaction iscompleted.- Lock your house doors dur-ing the sale to prevent theft. - Secure all cash that youreceive in a safe place. Keepout only enough money tomake change and put the restin the house. - Don't accept checks unlessyou know the buyer!

IDEAS TO MAKE IT EASIER- Place large items, especiallyfurniture, at the front of thedriveway to entice shoppers. - Be prepared for early birdswho want first crack at yourtreasures. Post a starting timeand stick to it. You might evenwant to enforce it with anothersign, "Early birds pay double." - Have some toys to give tochildren for free to keep themoccupied while parents shop. - Play relaxing backgroundmusic to put buyers in a goodmood. It allows customers totalk to a spouse about pur-chases without being over-heard.- Keep a tape measure, exten-sion cord and calculatorhandy. - Enlist several family mem-bers to assist customers andthe cashier.

PUT ON A GREAT SHOW!- Flag or mark water sprinklersor protruding items so carsdon't drive over them and peo-ple won't trip. - Mow the lawn, water the gar-den and sweep the walk anddriveway. - Make sure the dog isn't athome.- Try to set up everything thenight before or very early onsale day.- Keep the set up simple andorganized. Arrange your waresso that browsers have room tocomfortably walk around. Ifpossible, make an electricaloutlet available to test appli-ances.

PRICING- Price items realistically. Putyourself in the buyer's shoes:How much would you pay forclothing that went out of style10 years ago?- Research potentially valuableitems on eBay or guidebooks. - Price at 25% to 50% of retail,less if you want quicker sales.- Be prepared to bargain.- Cut out catalog prices forsome of your items to allowpeople to comparison shop. - Stick colored dots on top ofmost items, so you won't haveto price them individually. Thendisplay signs that decipher thecoding: Pink, 25 cents; blue,50 cents; green, $1; etc. Avoidusing masking tape. - Designate a bargain bin withitems, say, two for $1. - Give quantity discounts, suchas $1 each or two for $1.75. - Mark down everything halfprice for the last hour of thesale or last day. - Check your ego at the door.

• It was American author, play-wright, screenwriter and political activist Gore Vidal who made the following sage observation: “Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by defi nition, be disqualifi ed from ever doing so.”

• The next time you get a chance, you might want to check the pres-sure of your car’s tires; if they’re not infl ated to the correct pressure, you’re contributing to the $9 mil-lion in fuel that is wasted due to improper tire pressure, according to the Department of Energy.

• If you ever go to Rome, one of the sights that must be seen is the Trevi Fountain, the elaborate Baroque installment that was completed in 1762. According to legend, anyone who throws a coin in the fountain is ensured a return visit to Rome. This is, evidently, a popular tradi-tion; every night approximately $3,500 is retrieved from the foun-tain. The money is used to fund a supermarket for the city’s needy.

• In this era of ubiquitous technol-ogy and instant communication through e-mail and text message, the average American still receives 1.5 personal letters each week. Of course, you have to weigh that against the 10.8 pieces of junk mail that arrive on a weekly basis. • Due to the rising prices of the materials used to mint coins, it now costs 2 cents to manufacture every penny and 9 cents to make a nickel.

• In 2006, an Illinois police offi cer was arrested for driving under the infl uence of alcohol. This probably would not be noteworthy, except that it was the same police offi cer who received an award for making the most DUI arrests in his county.

OFFERRYBOATS

ANDWIND

TURBINESBy Cathy R. Deschaine M.A.LC

I was talking with my friend Wendy at the gym the other day and she was telling me about her

most recent excursion to Michigan. She and her husband went to this remote Island for a friends wedding where only horses were used on the island. To get there they had to take a Ferry Boat. On this island there was only one motorized vehicle. An ambulance just in case someone stayed too long in the hot tub while enjoying adult beverages. The rest of the island transportation included bicycles, and the show-leather ex-press. Only two hundred people in-habit this island year round, so when the lake freezes the ferry boats stop. Imagine my surprise as I read in my INC. magazine for growing compa-nies that among the top ten ideas for start up companies in 2010 was pas-senger Ferry boat services!

Given that new federal spending for building Ferryboats and terminals is part of the 2009 economic recovery act, opportunities are expanding. Other businesses that fall under this act include environmental consult-

ing. Helping homes and businesses go green is expected to grow 9 per-cent a year over the next 5 years, ac-cording to IBIS World, a publisher of world industry research. This in-dustry is well suited to the indepen-dent contractor with skills to install environmentally friendly gear such as wind turbines, wind mill farms, solar panels, and green roofs.

But if you are part of the American population that survived the reces-sion, and are in transition perhaps toying with idea of becoming your own boss, here are the top industries for start up companies projected from AnythingResearch.com.

*Mobile application Design; smart phones, iPods, and iPhones have been around for a while. Getting programmers, developers, and de-signers to grow this market has the potential of soaring at the same rate as social media web-site such at Face Book and Twitter.

*Fun and Games: craft and hob-by supply shops that sell toys and games are out performing the over-all retail stores. Annual growth 9 percent overall according to Any-

thing Research.

*Bakeries, pastry shops and bagel stores are growing at a rate of 5% annually. “Small indulgences, it seem, are picking , where as large purchases such as vacation are not”.

*Self-storage Leasing is a 22 billion dollar industry. It seems we Ameri-cans have this propensity to acquire and need “our Stuff”. With the low barriers to entry, independent busi-ness people own 90% of the indus-try.

All good ideas, great investments toward your future. If you’ve been thinking about launching out, tak-ing a leap of faith, and becoming your own boss, let me walk along side. Call me today to get started on the adventure of your life!

EXERCISES FOR TRAVELERS

Excited about going on vacation? While traveling is fun, simply getting to a vacation destina-

tion—whether by plane, train, bus or car—often involves extended periods of immobility. Hours of inactivity associ-ated with air travel—fi rst in the airport and then on the plane—may leave you achy and sore before your vacation has even begun!

To help combat potential problems as-sociated with traveling, try these sug-gestions below from Laurie Leiber, MPH, who earned her master’s degree in public health from the University of California, Berkeley, and who teaches Pilates in Oakland, California.

SEATED EXERCISESWhat can you do when you are virtu-ally held captive in boarding lounges at the airport? Perform these exercises that all begin with the following sustainable seated posture:

· Place feet fl at on fl oor, parallel, a few inches apart.· Sit up on sit bones.· Tip pelvis to bring it vertical (neutral spine position).· Drop shoulders away from ears and lengthen back of neck.· Breathe in, and on exhalation, draw in abdominals, engaging the core.· Return to this position between each seated exercise.Figure-Four Stretch. Place one ankle

on top of opposite knee. Hinge forward at hips, keeping spine neutral. Hold for 15–30 seconds, feeling a deep stretch on outside of hip. Repeat on other side.

Seated Twist (Not for People With Disk Problems). Keeping knees and hips fac-ing front, reach around to one side with both hands and hold onto back of chair. Breathe in. On exhalation, rotate rib cage and look over back of chair while keep-ing as much length in spine as possible. Hold stretch for 10–15 seconds. Return to start position and repeat, twisting to other side.

Shoulder Shrug and Roll. Inhale as you lift shoulders up toward ears. Exhale as you roll shoulders back and down, open-ing chest and letting shoulder blades come together. Continue sliding shoul-ders down the back, away from ears. Repeat 3–5 times.

Neck Stretch. With chin slightly tucked, let right ear drop toward right shoul-der. Hold stretch for 3–4 breaths, let-ting weight of head stretch left side of neck. Gently release stretch and repeat on other side.

Rock the Baby. With right hand on left elbow and left hand on right elbow, hold folded arms out in front of chest. Draw right elbow as far as you can to the right to stretch outside of left shoulder. Draw left elbow as far as you can to the left to stretch outside of right shoulder. Repeat 2–3 times on each side.

STANDING ROOM ONLYFootwork. Stand with feet parallel, 2–3

inches apart, balancing weight equally on both feet. Come up onto balls of feet, and slowly lower heels to fl oor, keeping weight centered. Repeat 8–10 times.

Prancing in Place. Use same start po-sition as in exercise above. Come up onto balls of feet. Lower one heel to fl oor while keeping other heel raised. Alternately press one heel up as other heel comes down to fl oor. Repeat 12–15 times.

Knee Lift. Keeping hips level, raise one knee until thigh is parallel to fl oor. Maintain neutral spine, and balance in this position 15–30 seconds. Place foot back on fl oor and repeat balance on other side. (You can also balance on

standing leg, slowly raising and lower-ing knee, touching toe to fl oor.)

Roll-Down. Bring chin to chest and slowly roll down, one vertebra at a time until spine is fl exed forward, arms hang-ing toward fl oor. Bend knees slightly and roll up, stacking vertebrae one at a time, bringing head up last. Repeat 2–3 times.

SNIPPETZ® CLASSIFIED / DINING GUIDE

Here’s yet another reason to take all the medication that our doc-tors prescribe: It can save us

from falls.

A study was done by a group with a rath-er interesting name: MOBILIZE Boston, which stands for Balance, Independent Living, Intellect and Zest in the Elderly of Boston. The group exists to study fall risk factors in seniors. More than 600 participants with an average age of 78 were studied after they’d had falls.

They were all asked four questions: Do they ever forget? Are they ever careless? Do they ever stop taking medicine when they feel better? Do they ever stop taking medicine if they feel worse?

Forty-eight percent were what it called “low adherence,” which means they weren’t taking their prescriptions as in-structed.

TO REDUCEFALLS, TAKE

YOURMEDICINE

Those seniors had more than one fall per year, a full 50 percent more than the “high adherence” group. Over the course of the study, 376 of the participants re-ported more than 1,000 falls.

The researchers suggested that doctors quiz their senior patients about whether they take all medication as prescribed.

While that might be a good idea, I have an idea, too: We need to take responsibil-ity for our health, and that includes tak-ing medications when and as they’re pre-scribed. Granted, there are some medica-tions with side effects. But a call to the doctor’s offi ce often can result in getting a slightly different medicine. After all, falls are one of the quickest ways we can lose our independence.

PERSONALS

A RIDE FORYOUR LIFE

By Nick Yanez

It was a quaint evening in down-town Palmer Lake when Ed-ward decided, like most intel-

ligent life forms, to visit Rodz Bar & Grill (Located at Pinz). From the moment Edward entered the room, he felt the comfort of good people and joyous times. He drank with company, passing the night in the palms of his favorite beverage. He laughed, he listened, and he told his friends he loved them. But the night, like all our days, would draw to a close. The birthday girl would sip her last martini. The postal man would pay his bill. The young guns and old souls would retire to the shelters they call home. Edward and his friends stayed for last call; and when that announcement of conclu-sion fi lled the barroom air, a deci-sion had to be made.

Though they were sometimes silly and irrational, Edward’s friends sprung from their bar stools and proceeded to ask the bartender for a complimentary “Rodz Ride” home. The bartender was happy to oblige, sending them to “The FuzzBUSter” where their charming driver would take them to their homes. They

would embark on a magical ride of soul cleansing and immense safety. Edward, however, chose to drive himself home.

He stumbled down the parking lines, a hiccup for every misstep. Climbing behind the wheel, his vi-sion blurred a lone parking light into an abundance of stars and colors. He put his foot on the brake, forced down his clutch, and turned the key. What happened next is unclear. Per-haps he got home safely, woke up, went to work, and forever remem-bered an enjoyable night. But may-be there was a ticket. Hand cuffs. A fi ne. An accident. An injury. A loss. A pounding in his head of an inno-cent soul left for dead. A life fi lled with guilt, regret, and sorrow…

Rides are complimentary, and al-ways available at Rodz Bar & Grill. Our driver will help you home any-where in the Tri-Lakes area. We can fi t up to 10 people. If we can’t fi t you, we’ll come back for you. “We’ll get you home, we’ll get you home safe” says Gloria McCartan (co-owner of Pinz). Don’t misstep. Don’t make one small mistake that forever cripples your conscience. Take a “Rodz Ride” home.

If you have any questions regarding bowling, birthday parties, summer fun, or “Rodz Rides”, call us any-time at (719) 487-7469

PATRICIA’S CAFÉ

These Unique and Delicious Recipes are presented to you

by Pat McClelland owner of Bella Panini in Palmer Lake

Check out their website: http:\\www.bellapanini.com

2 cans Garbanzo beans (15½ oz) ½ c Liquid from Garbanzo beans½ c Fresh lemon juice1/3 c Tahini10 ea Garlic cloves½ tsp Kosher salt

1. Drain garbanzo beans but save the liq-uid.2. Place beans in a food processor with rest of ingredients until creamy.

I like my Hummus very garlicky and lemony. You can always tone it down by cutting back on the garlic. If you want to add a little spice to it you can add some Cayenne pepper or Tabasco. You can garnish it with fresh chopped parsley, which will give it a fresh taste. I always use ko-sher salt because it will dissolve faster but regu-lar salt can be used in the same amount.

HUMMUSI like to snack on hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and thin sliced tomatoes on warm pita bread cut into wedges.

Try it on a veggie sandwich with sliced cucum-ber, carrots, spicy sprouts and sliced tomato.

I’ve tried this recipe with Navy beans in place of the garbanzo beans, which gave it an Ital-ian twist. Black beans with limejuice and fresh chopped cilantro sounds interesting.

This is a staple at my house because it is easy and healthy. There is no added fat but the gar-banzo beans and tahini do have some fat. It is a healthy fat that the body needs so don’t get stressed over it.

Be creative, have fun and enjoy!!!

I think I told you earlier that I collect cook books. One of my earlier ones is from a Domestic Science Class from 1910 at the Boston Cooking School. I thought I would share a recipe from that era with you. But fi rst, I thought I would give you an example from the book for a menu for a full course meal.

1st course: Little Neck Clams with brown-bread sandwiches. For a gentleman’s din-ner, canapés accompanied with Sherry wine are frequently served before guests enter the dining room.

2nd course: Clear soup with bread sticks. small rolls. Salted almonds may be passed between any of the courses.

3rd course: Bouchees or rissoles - the fi ll-ing to be of light meat.

4th course: Fish, cole slaw, dressed cu-cumbers with fried fi sh potatoes.

5th course: Roast saddle of venison, mut-ton, spring lamb, or fi llet of beef with pota-toes and one other vegetable.

6th course: Entree made of light meat or fi sh.

7th course: A vegetable.

8th course: Punch or cheese course. Punch, when served, always precedes the game course.

9th course: Game, with vegetable salad.

10th course: Dessert, usually cold.

11th course: Frozen dessert and fancy

cakes. Bonbons are passed after this course.

12th course: Cracker, cheese, and cafe noir. Cafe noir is frequently served in the drawing and smoking rooms after the din-ner.

After serving cafe noir in the drawing room, pass pony of brandy for men, sweet liqueur for women; then Creme de Menthe for all.

Okay, do any of you think that 12 courses are a little extreme? I wonder how long all of this took - many hours I’m sure. Here is a recipe from the same book:

PARISIAN FRENCH DRESSING

1/2 cup olive oil5 tbs vinegar1/2 tsp powdered sugar1 tbs fi nely chopped Bermuda onion2 tbs fi nely chopped parsley4 red peppers8 green peppers1 tsp salt

“Mix ingredients in the order given. Let stand one hour, then stir vigorously for fi ve minutes. This is especially fi ne with let-tuce, romaine, “chiccory”, or endive. The red and green peppers are the small ones found in pepper sauce.”

New DVD Releases forWeek of June 21, 2010

PICKS OF THE WEEK“A Star Is Born” (Deluxe Edition) (Not Rated) -- Directed by George Cukor, featuring songs by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin, 1954’s “A Star Is Born” starring Judy Garland and James Mason fi nally gets the DVD release it deserves. Garland plays aspiring singer Esther Blodgett. Mason is Norman Maine, an alcoholic actor whose career is fading. After Esther saves him from an embarrass-

ing moment at a Hollywood function, Maine tries repeatedly to convince her to consider a career in fi lm. She fi nally accepts, changes her name to Vicki Lester and takes a part in a musical, which skyrockets her to fame. But her newfound celebrity and his alcoholism are a dangerous and volatile mix that leads the couple to a tragic incident.

This deluxe edition spans three discs, with two discs packed to the brim with special fea-tures, including alternate takes, effects reels, newsreel footage, the 1954 TV special of the fi lm’s premiere and tons of other goodies too numerous to mention. The movie itself is a restored 176-minute version and includes all the footage edited out following the premiere and believed lost. Using the restored nega-tive, it was scanned at a 6k rate -- the highest resolution any fi lm has been scanned to date -- for the Blu-Ray release.

“Stones in Exile” (Not Rated) -- Nearly 40 years ago, during the summer of 1971, the

Rolling Stones fl ed England for the south of France to avoid England’s 93 percent income tax. They’d sacked their manager who’d brought them to the brink of fi nancial disaster, were moving to a new label and Keith Rich-ards was ripped to the gizzards on heroin, so why not record a new album, right?

And that’s what they did. The band slapped together a makeshift recording studio in Keith’s basement, and between orgies of sex and drugs, laid down the basic guts of what would become “Exile on Main Street,” argu-ably one of their greatest albums.

To tell the story of “Exile,” director Stephen Kijak drew from vintage news reports, pho-tos, fi lm footage of an unreleased documen-tary made at the time, plus interviews with the band and other celebs. The result is an enjoyable and entertaining look at a “creative process” that should’ve resulted in crushing disaster, but instead yielded a masterpiece of classic rock ‘n’ roll.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A plan you’ve kept on hold for a long time fi nally could be greenlighted. But in typical Aries form, you’ll need to be sure that everything is in place before you hit the “start” button.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Others might urge you to act more quickly on your ideas. But you’d be wise to follow your Bovine in-stincts and get more facts to bolster your po-sition when you fi nally present it.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be tempted to accept the well-meaning offer of a friend to act as an intermediary in a dispute. But you know best what it’s about, and you can handle the challenge. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Entertainment can play an important role this week. Enjoy some well-earned diversion with people you care about. Something especially wonderful might come from this well-spent time.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps and playtime are in order for Leos and Leonas who need to take some time off from their hectic schedules to restore their energies and rebuild their mental muscles. Have fun.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Virgos will need to keep an open mind this week about choices that seem improbable. A clos-er study might well reveal possibilities that might have been overlooked. Stay with it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A dis-appointing outcome of a well-intentioned ef-fort should be seen as a lesson in how to do it right the next time. Note all your changes and have your new plan set up by week’s end.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Travel plans might need readjusting because of changes in the costs previously agreed to. Deal with the problem as quickly as possible to minimize any delays that might result.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your honest approach to an unsettling ex-perience draws admiration from others. Use their positive feedback to build support for your program to introduce needed changes.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Travel is strong in your aspect this week, and so is nostalgia! You might want to consider planning a trip to a place that holds some very special meaning for you. Bon voyage.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A job-related situation could provide an oppor-tunity you hadn’t considered before. Look it over carefully and see where and how you can tailor it to fi t your needs.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Showing strength as well as sympathy helps you deal with a diffi cult personal matter. It also helps you set an example for others when it’s their turn to get involved in the situation.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of making people feel comfortable without los-ing one whit of your own dignity in the pro-cess.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

LAUNCH YOUR “SUMMERTIME”

INVESTMENTSTRATEGYProvided by Adam Grayson

of EdwardJones Investments

Now that summer is offi cially here, you may be looking forward to vacations, bar-

becues, ballgames and other events of the season. But even while you’re engaged in these activities, you can’t forget about other aspects of your life — such as your plans to achieve your long-term fi nancial goals. However, your summer activities can actually provide you with some valuable les-sons on managing your investment strategy.

Here are a few possibilities: Plan your trip. If you’re taking a long road trip this summer, you’ll need to choose your vehicle, map out your route, determine how far you want to go each day and be quite certain of your destination. And, essentially, the same is true for your investment strategy. You need to choose the right investment vehicles, familiar-ize yourself with your ultimate goals (such as a comfortable retirement) and chart your progress along the way.

Try to avoid getting burned. If you’re going to spend a lot of time outdoors this summer, you may need to ap-ply some sunscreen. But you don’t have to be exposed to the sun to get “burned” — it can happen in the in-vestment world, too. However, you can help prevent this from happen-ing. How? By building a diversifi ed portfolio. If most of your money is tied up in just one type of invest-ment, and that asset class falls vic-tim to a downturn, your portfolio could take big hit. But while some investments are moving down, other may be moving up, so it makes sense to spread your money among a range of vehicles appropriate for your risk

tolerance, investment goals and time horizon. Of course, diversifi cation, by itself, cannot guarantee a profi t or protect against loss, but it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio.

Keep yourself “hydrated.” When you’re outside on hot days, you can lose a lot of fl uids, so you need to drink plenty of liquids to remain hy-drated. As an investor, you also need a reasonable amount of liquidity. In the severe market downturn of 2008 and early 2009, many investors found they had insuffi cient amounts of the type of liquid investments — cash and cash equivalents — that held up better than other, more aggressive vehicles. Furthermore, if you are rel-atively illiquid, you may have to dip into your longer-term investments to pay for short-term emergency needs. Try to always keep an adequate level of liquidity in your holdings.

Dress for the season. As you go about your summer activities, you won’t always wear the same clothes. On hot days, you might want to wear shorts, but on cool, rainy days, you might need heavier items or even a raincoat. And as you go through life, you may need to adjust your invest-ment approach depending on your individual fi nancial “season.” For example, early in your career, you might be able to afford to invest more aggressively, as you’ll have more op-portunities to recover from the inevi-table short-term downturns. As you close in on retirement, though, you may need to take a more conserva-tive approach so that you can lower your investment risk when you need to access your money.

So there you have them — some ideas for “summertime investing.” Use them wisely, and they may be of value to you long after summer is over.

VALUE© June, 2010, by Lisa Welch Stevens, Esq.

In my last article I discussed the second of several forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”): mediation (arbitration was the subject of the fi rst ar-

ticle in this series). ADR provides ways of resolving legal disputes without (necessarily) resorting to litigation in the courts, and without (necessarily) the time and expense of litigation in the courts. In this article I will be discussing two additional forms of ADR: mediation/arbitration; and a type of informal, non-legal, mediation.

A third form of ADR is mediation/arbitration. In this hy-brid, disputants agree to mediation, and engage in media-tion as described in my previous article. However, unlike straight mediation, the disputants have agreed, in advance, that in the event no agreement is reached among them, the mediation converts to a binding arbitration, the mediator converts to an arbitrator, and the mediator/arbitrator then renders a binding decision, just as a straight arbitrator, or a judge or jury at trial, might. The decision of the mediator/arbitrator may or may not appealable, depending upon the disputants’ agreement prior to mediation/arbitration.

I have, at least here in El Paso County, also seen a fourth type of ADR, very informal, in which attorneys are not involved at all. This type of ADR is also adaptable to other situations. Some disputants agree to engage in an informal

mediation through a voluntary organization to which they belong, such as a church. Certain clergy are very amenable to this and, where the disputants are religious, and wish to settle a dispute in accordance with their beliefs (even where the subject matter of the dispute is secular), this can be an extremely suc-cessful option. I will say that this is seen (at least it has been by me) in smaller religious congregations/denominations; I have not seen it, for example, in the context of Roman Catholic parishes, although it may exist. Mediation of this type is, in my experi-ence, very successful, given a skillful mediator. Ob-viously, this is usually only an option where all dis-putants belong to the same religious organization.

This type of voluntary, informal, mediation need not be limited to the religious context: it could be ap-plied within trade, professional, or business groups; fraternal or sororal organizations; within any com-pany or corporation; within any neighborhood or homeowners’ association, etc. Again, as with ordi-nary mediation, it is binding only if the parties reach an agreement, reduce it to a writing, and sign it. It is probably the fastest, least expensive way to resolve a dispute. And, you avoid those pesky, expensive at-torneys!

As an interesting side note, you may also have heard of a type of super-informal ADR (usually seen in po-

litical contexts), where a binding decision is left wholly to chance. Disputants can agree that a decision will be made, literally, on a roll of the dice, the turn of a card, or pulled out of a hat! As long as the parties agree on the method of ADR, it can work!

ADR provides a way to resolve disputes that is far more likely to leave all disputants satisfi ed, to an extent, and to reach a resolution that is far more likely to be abided by, as the disputants themselves (with the exception of arbi-tration), have more of a sense of control in the resolution. Remember, in litigation the only certain winners are the at-torneys; they are paid no matter what. Do you want to pay for my children to go to that expensive Ivy League college, or your own? (Or buy me a new car instead of yourself!)

(June 10, 2010--Colorado Springs, CO)—“My dad was a wheat farmer in SW Kansas. I was born at home by a country doctor. We were poor but I didn’t know it because everyone else was too. It was a hard life, but I grew up a happy, happy child,” Ruthie Tripet; age 85.
